Fiber-reinforced composites are an ideal high-performance composite material made from a combination of high-strength continuous fibers and a polymer matrix. Compared to short cut fibers, continuous long strand fibers can improve the mechanical properties of fiber composites more effectively. Herein, continuous aramid fiber-reinforced PLA filaments with fiber centering were prepared by modifying the outlet design of a desktop-grade thermoplastic single-screw melt extruder. Inspired by the cross-laminated structure of a beetle’s mandible fibers, a biomimetic structure composite was printed, which demonstrates a significant influence on the mechanical properties. The G-code printing program was developed, and the microstructure of the fracture surface of the specimen was analyzed. The uniform and orderly arrangement of aramid fibers within the PLA resin-based 3D-printed specimen was found. Consequentially, the bionic composites exhibits a 12% increase in tensile strength and a 5% increase in impact toughness, confirming the feasibility of utilizing continuous 3D printing to manufacture long bundles of aramid fiber composite filaments for enhanced mechanical performances.

Mortar" and "brick" structure is a general model to construct nanocomposites. A lm with "brick-andmortar" structure was prepared by LBL (Layer-by-Layer) technique using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) as the exible material or "mortar" and mica as the rigid material or "brick". The lm deposited on a glass slide after self-assembly cycles was ~3μm thick with an uneven, wavy surface. The lm showed enhanced mechanical properties with the hardness and indentation modulus values up to 6.14 GPa and 68.41 GPa, respectively. It was found that the hardness and elastic toughness depended on the ratio of mica, the number of self-assembly cycles, and the pretreatment method of the mica suspension. The self-assembly process was believed to be attributable to the hydrogen bonds between the silanol groups of mica and the hydroxyl groups of PVA and carbonyl groups of PMMA.
